About this study

Ischemia-reperfusion injury resulted from pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery have been reported in some literatures. There are no studies investigating the time course of changes in oxidative stress markers in volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) modes. The aim of this study is to compare the alterations in oxidative stress in two different ventilation strategies during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.

Methods:

Fifty-two patients of ASA physical status I or II were randomly assigned to receive either VCV or PCV during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Blood gas analysis and ventilation variables were recorded 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum. Blood samples for malondialdehyde (MDA) measurement were collected at seven points: 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum; 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes after deflation (T3~T6); and 24 hours after deflation (T7).

Read the detailed description

Pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic procedures greatly impairs splanchnic blood flow due to compression. Increased intra-abdominal pressure may elevate the diaphragm, increase intra-thoracic pressure, reduce functional residual capacity, and thus lead to atelectasis. In a collapsed lung, blood flow is decreased and reperfusion injury may subsequently occur during re-expansion of the lung. This ischemia-reperfusion injury results from the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are highly reactive intermediates of the oxygen metabolism. When there is an imbalance between ROS generation and removal by antioxidative mechanisms, oxidative stress occurs and eventually causes cellular and organ damage. Oxidative stress mediates tissue injury and may represent an important link between laparoscopy and clinical side effects. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is considered the most reliable marker of oxidative stress in the clinical setting. It is a breakdown product of lipid peroxidation in tissues. An elevated concentration of MDA reflects the level of lipid peroxidation.

Although there is abundant data comparing the effects of VCV and PCV during laparoscopic surgery, the time course of changes in oxidative stress in these two modes has not been elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the alterations of oxidative stress in two different ventilation modes, VCV and PCV, during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. To this end, the investigators established a prospective randomized clinical study and measured the plasma levels of a lipid peroxidation marker at different stages.

Fifty-two patients of ASA physical status I or II were randomly assigned to receive either VCV or PCV during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. During the operation, blood gas analysis and ventilation variables were recorded 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) the establishment of CO2 pneumoperitoneum in both groups. Blood samples for MDA measurement were collected at seven points: 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum; at intervals of 30 minutes for 2 hours after the deflation of CO2 (T3~T6); and 24 hours after the deflation of CO2 (T7). The samples were immediately centrifuged (1000g, 10 minutes) and the supernatants were stored at -800C until further analysis, which took place within 1 week. The investigators assessed the quality of recovery from anesthesia using a nine-item quality of recovery score (QoR Score) before operation and 24 hours after the deflation of CO2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. peak airway pressure

    During surgery, CO2 pneumoperitoneum was induced with an intraabdominal pressure of 15 mmHg. After one hour of pneumoperitoneum, ventilation variables were recorded.

    Measured: 1 hour after the establishment of CO2 pneumoperitoneum

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. plasma MDA concentration

    Measured: 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum; at intervals of 30 minutes for 2 hours after the deflation of CO2 (T3~T6); and 24 hours after the deflation of CO2 (T7)

What does the primary outcome measure?

peak airway pressure (time frame: 1 hour after the establishment of CO2 pneumoperitoneum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02512640, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
